Genetic characterisation of candidate ecdysteroid kinases in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2024-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Ecdysteroids are major hormones in insects and control moulting, growth, reproduction, physiology, and behaviour. The biosynthesis of ecdysteroids such as 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) from dietary sterols is well characterised, but ecdysteroid catabolism is poorly understood. Ecdysteroid kinases (EcKs) mediate the reversible phosphorylation of ecdysteroids, which has been implicated in ecdysteroid recycling during emb...
